The current approach iterates all channels in the graph in order to
filter those in need. This approach is time consuming, several seconds
on my mobile device for ~40,000 channels, while during this time the
db is locked in a transaction.
The proposed change is to use an existing functionality that utilize the
fact that channel update are saved indexed by date. This method enables
us to go over only a small subset of the channels, only those that
were updated before the "channel expiry" time and further filter
them for our need.
The same graph that took several seconds to prune was pruned, after
the change, in several milliseconds.
In addition for testing purposes I added Initiator field to the
testChannel structure to reflect the channeldEdgePolicy direction.
This commit adds an index bucket, disabledEdgePolicyBucket, for those
ChannelEdgePolicy with disabled bit on.
The main purpose is to be able to iterate over these fast when prune is
needed without the need for iterating the whole graph.
The entry points for accessing this index are:
1. When updating ChannelEdgePolicy - insert an entry.
2. When deleting ChannelEdge - delete the associated entries.
3. When querying for disabled channels - implemented DisabledChannelIDs

In this commit two fields were added to the Channl RPC result in both
open and pending states.
The fields: local_chan_reserve, remote_chan_reserve represents the
reservation the nodes are rquired to keep in both sides of the channel.
This is usefull when calculating the "real" inbound and outbound
liquidity in an accurate way.
This commit fixes a but where restarting LND at the same process causes
It to fail.
The problem resides in the fact that an array of permissions is
initialized as a package variable and when creating the
RPCServer all subserver permissions are appended while checking for
duplicates.
On subsequent restart this array is left over from the previous run and
being populated again with the same permissions causing a duplicate
error.
The solution is simple, just to extract out the initial permissions to
a separate function and call it from the context is is needed.
This commit modified the condition to whether drop an existing
connection to a peer when a new connection to this peer is
established.
The previous algorithm used public keys comparison for this decision
which determines that between every two nodes only one of them will
ever drop the connection in such cases.
The problematic case is when a node disconnects and reconnects in a
short interval which is the case of mobile devices.
In such case it takes as much as the "timeout" configured value for
the remote node to detect the "disconnection" (and try to reconnect
if this connection is persistent). In the case this node is also the
one that has the "smaller" public key the reconnect attempts of the
other node will be rejected causing it impossible to fast reconnect.
The solution is to only drop the connection if if we already have a
connected peer that is of the opposite direction from the this new
connection. By doing so the "initiator" will be enabled to replace
the connection and recconnect immediately.
